Hospital radio has been established at over 900
hospitals in the UK since the 1920's. It was established to provide
entertainment for patients.
Over 50 years of service to the NHS it has proven to aid recovery for
patients and has been used to raise much needed funds for hospitals.
Each evening many radio volunteers around the UK will be visiting hospital
wards to chat to patients and encourage them to participate in their programs. A
quarter of a million people will have access to hospital radio. Thousands of
volunteers have given time to the service over the years. In addition it has
provided the training arena for today's professional broadcasters.
The aim of the Radio Heatherwood volunteers is to bring a visitor to the
bedside of patients each evening and too provide a little light entertainment
for those in need. We also aim to raise funds for the League of Friends ensuring
continued support for Heatherwood. Hospital and it's Staff.
This site is dedicated to the volunteers of the League of Friends; who
maintain Radio Heatherwood:-
